The settlement cff Elizabethtown was the first within the bounds of New 
Jersey made by New England people. The Purchase of the land from the 
Indians was made by John Baily, Daniel Denton and Luke Watson of 
Jamaica, L. I., October 28, 1664, and the Patent granted by Gov. Nicolls to 
Capt. John Baker, John Ogden, John Baily, Luke Watson "and their 
associates," confirming the Indian deed, bears date December i, 1664. John 
Ogden of Northampton had bought out Denton's interest, and Capt. John 
Baker of New York was probably allowed an interest in consideration of 
his services as interpreter. Gov. Nicolls when he signed this patent was no 
doubt ignorant of the deed from the Duke of York to Berkley and Carteret 
made on the 24th day of June previous. Dr. Hatfield in his history of 
Elizabeth, thinks it probable that a formal occupation was made upon the 
land between October and December 1664, and that occupation by actual 
settlers soon followed. Mr. William A. Whitehead, in his last edition of 
East Jersey under the Proprietors, gives proof that when Gov. Philip 
Carteret arrived in 1665, but four English-speaking families were to be found 
in New Jersey, pioneers of the Jamaica Colony. The patent granted by 
Governor Nicolls and the Indian purchase were relied upon in after years 
by the citizens as giving them a good title independent of that of Berkley 
and Carteret, but the latter grant was prior to the Nicolls patent and a vast 
amount of litigation was caused by these conflicting grants, lasting until the 
Revolutionary war put an end to it. 

The first meeting house was of wood and of a very humble style of archi- 
tecture. It was replaced by a new church in 1724, fifty-eight feet in length and 
forty-two feet in width. An addition in the rear of sixteen feet was made in 
1766. On the night of January 25, 1780, a party of British troops and refu- 
gees, numbering nearly tour hundred, crossed on the ice from Staten Island 
to Trembly's Point and were led by three Elizabethtown tories by the nearest 
and most retired route to the town. Here they secured a few prisoners, 
plundered many of the inhabitants, burned the Court House and Meeting 
House, and retreated with haste byway of De Hart's Point without loss. 
Washington spoke of this event a day or two after as " the late misfortune 
and disgrace of Elizabeth Town." The erection of a new church was com- 
menced in 1784, and completed in 1789. It forms a part of the present edi- 
fice, and was extended and improved many times before it reached its present 
dimensions. 

Dr. Kempshall in his historical discourse, delivered January 25, 1880, in 
celebrating the Centennial Anniversary of the burning of the church says: 

"The lot on which the house was built included the present burying- 
ground, and extended on the west to the river (so called), and contained about 
eight acres. When the church property was surveyed in 1766, the Trustees 
affirmed 'that the first purchasers and associates did give the aforesaid tract 



4 PREFACE. 

of land for the use of the Presbyterian Church, the record of which, on or 
about the year 1719, was either lost or destroyed.' This statement was admit- 
ted by the Town Committee, and has constituted the only title of record to the 
present church property for over a century and a half. The meeting-house 
occupied part of the site of the present church, but, as it was much smaller, 
it did not cover much, if any, more than the front half, the other half contain- 
ing the graves of most of the first settlers. Graves w^re sometimes dug 
under the floor of the church, a custom familiar to the early settlers and 
made dear by association with, the habits of their ancestors in England, so 
that nearly the whole area of this church in which we are now gathered, is 
probably occupied with the dust which awaits the archangel's trump, of the 
first two or three generations of the people of the town." 

Some of the headstones, removed to give room for the additions to the 
church, were set in the walls, where they can still be seen. Among them 
are two old headstones bearing the date 1687, erected to the memory of two 
sons of the widow of Captain Lawrence, who married, as her second husband. 
Governor Philip Carteret. Dr. Kempshall says of the lands on which the 
church is built — 

" It is probable that for a long time the church and adjoining burial-ground 
was not enclosed, or if at all, only in a rude way. In 1762, immediately after 
the settlement of Rev. Mr. Caldwell, it was voted by the Trustees that 'the 
burial-ground be enclosed with a close, cedar-board fence; also agreed that 
a neat pale-fence be built to enclose a court-yard in the front and south end 
of the church.' " 

In this old churchyard lie the forefathers of Elizabeth, and of many whose 
names are known throughout the State. Here are buried Rev. Jonathan 
Dickinson, Dr. John McDowell, Rev. James Caldwell, Hon. Elias Boudinot, 
Robert Ogden, ist. Gen. Matthias Ogden, Gov. Aaron Ogden, Dr. Nicholas 
Murray, Shepard Kollock and many others prominent in the history of the 
country. Many of the headstones are crumbling with age and their lettering 
will soon become illegible. It was with a view to preserve, as well as to 
place in a form more convenient to the historian and genealogist, these 
inscriptions, that the authors of this work caused copies to be carefully made 
and this book to be printed. The order of location, rather than that of the 
alphabet has been observed, believing that the "directions to the Sexton," 
made in 1766, that he is "carefully to observe in the burial of the Dead, to 
keep the Bodies of the Respective particular Families of the Congregation 
together as much as possibl}' can be done," has been generally observed and 
that relationship ma)' in many cases be indicated by situation. 

St. John's Church is nearly as ancient as the First Presbyterian. The cor- 
ner 'stone of the first building was laid on St. John the Baptist's day, 1706, 
on ground given by Col. Richard Townley. This building was enlarged and 
■^ re-consecrated in 1841, and in 1857 the corner stone of the present handsome 

structure was laid. In this church yard are buried many of the earliest inhab- 
itants of the town, and copies of the inscriptions on the headstones and monu- 
ments were necessary to complete the work proposed by the authors.

At the great rising, glorious day.

Thy way is in the sea and thy path in the 

great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. 

The Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice 

Our flesh shall rest in hope. It is 

sown in corruption, it is 

raised in incorruption. It is sown in 

dishonor it is raised in glory 

This corruptible must put 

on Incorruption 

and this mortal shall put on immortality 

Then shall be brought to pass the 

saying, Death is swallowed up 

in victory.
